I've seen many of his plays and he was a national treasure. His works will be a lasting legacy. RIP Mr. Wilson.

@MelancoliaI 10 месяцев назад

A national treasure. But first and foremost a Pittsburgh treasure.

@chriscuben1198 3 года назад

Brilliant. August Wilson wrote with truth and that's why his art is timeless. We are blessed to experience his genius.

Viola was always destined for mastery of her craft. Fantastic that she's built such a fruitful relationship with August Wilson's work.

@brandonleja8333 Год назад

And as a Pittsburgher I can now smile that his childhood home has been beautifully restored.

August Wilson is MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE Author/Playwright!! As a writer, I use his prose style for inspiration. 💜🎭

@lamontdt424 Год назад

I saw the Broadway run in '92. I was in drama school at the time. We would get heavily discounted and sometimes free tix to shows. I was blown away. This year, thirty years later I'm finally getting to do the play myself. I'll be playing Memphis. Talk about full circle!!

@christophercobb249 Год назад

Amazing, congrats to you!

@lenovovo 3 года назад

This is just GREAT!!! Believe it or not, I have learned a lot from watching this interview. Both of these guys are brilliant. It's so sad to know that both of these guys has passed away, but what they have done, which were very good things, makes them live on forever. Thanks 60 minutes for posting this video. Have a great day.

Care to see Ed Bradley sing harmony with George Burns, an old time vaudeville actor & comic? Search for Ed Bradley interviewing George Burns. Took place when Burns was 90+ years old, 1986-95. Not sure it's on RU-vid, but it was memorable.

@nattaliegordon4553 3 года назад

I’m here on the heels of my play reading in Alaska. Someone on the discussion panel had a lot to say about my play ‘Rice and Roundworm’ and ended with “August Wilson would be proud of you.” So here I am, trying to know more about the man himself.

@SuperSpace2009 3 года назад

Wow! Amazing interview! Ma Rainey Black Bottom with Viola Davis brought me he here! And to see this presentation and see Viola Davis again in his play King Headly comes full circle I was floored when I saw her! She was meant to play Ma Rainey and did an outstanding job! August Wilson shows the Black experience is! It may be about race but it is the truth! Wish it was something else but its not! This is what we experience every damn day! Notice how his says they say he is the angry playwright. Yes that is true! From his experiences! They couldn't say he was a great playwright. Put he gets labled.Do they label white playwright! August Wilson is real! Great man!

@07ikkin 3 года назад

I just realized Viola Davis acts in many of his films/plays. Fences, Ma Rainey, and King Hedley

@LucasTCaceres4253 3 года назад

The fact that the woman doesn’t want to have a child reminds me of In The Ghetto, by Elvis Presley, if you listen to the lyrics, it’s about a mother who has a child that struggles to take care of him, and he eventually goes onto roam the streets at night and he begins to steal, until he tries to steal a car and is gunned down in the street. She doesn’t want to have a child for that reason.

@virginiacornett2300 2 года назад

I'm looking for a movie/documentary about Wilson where there's an amazing story of his funeral procession through the streets of the Hill District told by those who were part of it (I know Wynton Marsalas was one). I believe it is the end of The Ground on Which I Stand but not sure. Sound familiar to anyone?

yes.

@kasnarfburns210 3 года назад

It's interesting that when he stopped going to school, none of the school administrators raised a flag!! Imagine that happening today. At least he didn't go down a path of criminality. I hope he enjoyed all of the fruits of his success in his short time on earth!!

@pt68picaso Год назад

They must have, but then again he was 15, black in 1960. Six years after Brown v. Board of Education. Age 16 you could stop back in the '70's.

@siriuslyspeaking9720 3 года назад

We applaud the messenger but ignore his message. How can this video have only 23 comments nearly 23 days since its posting? He told a truth that is as obvious as the difference between night and day. Elijah Muhammad and the NOI told long before Wilson that we were lost. We are floundering and spiraling towards an even bleaker future, but we act as if all is well. At 2:28 Wilson says " basically I'm trying to affirm the value of Blacks, and to demonstrate their humanity". Isn't this a central theme of Black social and political expression to day. We do a lot of proclaiming the value of our lives, but are we really affirming our lives and demonstrating their value in our actions? I argue that we have gone in the opposite direction. At about 9:45 Bradley and Wilson talk about his play King Hedley II, that deals with economic disintegration and violence in Black communities. Wilson attributes this violence to a disconnection of Black people from our roots. Wilson goes on to say that without roots and traditions that instructs you how to conduct yourself - you just wonder all over the place. Does this not accurately describe our condition today? That even Hip-Hop seems to have forgotten its roots and tradition it seems almost from the very start? Much of Hip- Hop seems to have forgotten the 'Stop The Violence Movement' of the 80's. Today many associated with it say "Black on Black crime is not a thing". This is a shift and yet no one will talk about this change in stance on violence in our communities. One of our most prominent intellectuals who is highly associated with Hip-Hop goes so far to say "to talk about Black people killing one another, makes us loo pathological". What was wrong with us speaking out against it, and asking of people to stop with the senseless self destruction, before? This is Black people gas-lighting ourselves, when we see what is happening and don't acknowledge the major problem it is, and the illogic of us proclaiming to the world the value of our lives, yet begin to take a cavalier attitude toward the loss of so many of our lives. What would Wilson write about us today? Could we even bear to watch, or would we simply not acknowledge what we are seeing?

@pt68picaso Год назад

You're right about NOI. Malcolm X autobiography covers NOI. I recall '60's & maybe '50's part of X's book. He met up with E.M. & pilgrimed to Mecca. Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton, & Jessie Jackson only come to mind as today African American spiritual leaders. X & M.L.King assassinations in the '60's was a set back. But there's POTUS #44 - Obama.

Life first. Agree. But you see there in USA this discrimination. Every where have even for us whites people. When I come emigrant here in Gr my small Child comes at home 3 times with blood in face. BECAUSE of emigrant. It's the culture not the race. It's educated society too. Black people have the higher level stamped educated in every aspect of life who deserves have a special place in high quality of administration. Which for white people becomes luxury.
